How the Arrest Happened

According to investigators, Jamison personally contacted Charleston County dispatch Friday morning, identified himself, and stated his intention to turn himself in. Dispatchers quickly confirmed that he was wanted on multiple charges, including:

• Murder
• Several counts of attempted murder
• Possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime

Given his status as “armed and dangerous,” officers prepared for a high-risk encounter. Police positioned themselves near a residence on Evanston Boulevard in North Charleston, where Jamison was located.

When he exited the home, officers ordered him to surrender. Authorities said Jamison fully complied with commands and was taken into custody without incident. No shots were fired, and no injuries were reported.

Custody and Charges

Jamison was first booked at the Al Cannon Detention Center in Charleston County before being transferred into the custody of the Santee Police Department in Orangeburg County. He will face prosecution on the previously issued warrants.

Officials have not released full details of the Orangeburg County murder case that led to his arrest, citing the active investigation. However, the multiple attempted murder charges suggest the incident involved several victims or endangered multiple lives.

Community Reaction

The arrest has drawn widespread attention in both Orangeburg County and North Charleston, where residents had been on edge. Many expressed relief that Jamison surrendered peacefully.

“This could have ended much differently,” one North Charleston resident said. “We’re just thankful nobody else was hurt, and that he decided to come forward.”

Law enforcement echoed that sentiment, noting that Jamison’s compliance avoided a potentially dangerous confrontation. “Whenever someone is flagged as armed and dangerous, the risks are high,” an officer said. “Fortunately, in this case, the arrest was handled safely.”

What’s Next

Jamison remains in custody as the Orangeburg County judicial process moves forward. Prosecutors are expected to formally present charges soon, and a bond hearing will likely be scheduled. Given the seriousness of the allegations, legal experts say he faces significant prison time if convicted.

Detectives continue to investigate the case, collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses. Authorities are urging anyone with information to contact the Santee Police Department or provide anonymous tips through local Crime Stoppers.

The case underscores the coordination between multiple law enforcement agencies and their commitment to ensuring public safety as the Orangeburg County community awaits justice.
